6. If the Print Server is to be operated under Novell Directory Ser-
vices, type in a
Context entry and Preferred NDS Tree entry in
the appropriate fields. Be sure to give the whole context, whether
typed or typeless, and do not begin your context path with a trail-
ing period (.). If you don't know your tree, type: whoami at the
DOS command line. A typed context name example is:
ou=standard.ou=organization_1
7. In the default mode, the Print Server scans each queue which it is
to service once per second. If you prefer a longer scan rate, you
may enter the time between scans in seconds in the
Print Queue
Scan Rate
field.
8. The NIC will normally monitor the network to determine which
frame type is being used for NetWare. When it recognizes a type,
it will assume the same frame type. Once it selects a frame type,
the NIC will only operate over that NetWare frame type. Monitor-
ing normally starts looking for IEEE 802.3, then Ethernet II, then
802.3 SNAP, etc. If your network is using multiple frame types for
NetWare, you should bias the frame search to the desired type by
setting the button next to the designation under
Ethernet Frame
Type
.
9. You can
Disable Bindery mode on the Print Server if you are
operating in NDS mode only. To do so, click on that box. If you
disable Bindery, the NIC will not support Print Servers on a Bind-
ery file server.
10. Once you have selected all desired settings and entered the desired
NetWare information, you may cause this information to be
entered in the NIC NVRAM by clicking on
Accept Settings. As
with all value changes, if you have not entered the NIC Manage-
ment Password before, you must enter it in the appropriate space
before clicking on
Accept Settings.
11. Entered values do not take effect until the NIC is reset or power
cycled. You may reset from MAP or the Web Browser by returning
to the Network Setting page, and click on
Reset under System.
Now click on
Reset Unit. Alternatively, you may power cycle the
printer. The new NetWare values should now be in effect.
